Jay Carney Won’t Say Who Paid For Michelle Obama’s Birthday Bash

White House spokesman Jay Carney didn’t have an answer when asked by ABC’s Jonathan Karl who footed the bill for Michelle Obama’s birthday bash last weekend. He said he thought they previously released a statement on that and referred Karl to the East Wing. But there’s one problem:

Acting on Carney’s statement, “I think we put out information on that,” White House “Statements & Releases” going back two weeks make no mention of who’s footing the bill for the first lady’s celebration.
